<p><a name="index-searching-source-files-570"></a>
There are two commands for searching through the current source file for a
regular expression.
<a name="index-search-571"></a>
<a name="index-forward_002dsearch-572"></a>
<a name="index-fo-_0040r_007b_0028_0040code_007bforward_002dsearch_007d_0029_007d-573"></a>
<dl><dt><code>forward-search </code><var>regexp</var><dt><code>search </code><var>regexp</var><dd>The command &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">forward-search </span><var>regexp</var></samp>&rsquo; checks each line,
starting with the one following the last line listed, for a match for
<var>regexp</var>. It lists the line that is found. You can use the
synonym &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">search </span><var>regexp</var></samp>&rsquo; or abbreviate the command name as
<code>fo</code>.
<p><a name="index-reverse_002dsearch-574"></a><br><dt><code>reverse-search </code><var>regexp</var><dd>The command &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">reverse-search </span><var>regexp</var></samp>&rsquo; checks each line, starting
with the one before the last line listed and going backward, for a match
for <var>regexp</var>. It lists the line that is found. You can abbreviate
this command as <code>rev</code>.
